Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to deliver double the number of homes built in Canada, but instead it is down by 16%. It is no surprise. Just look at who the Prime Minister put in charge. The housing minister oversaw a 150% surge in home prices and doubled rent prices when he was the mayor of Vancouver. He even stated on record that home prices should not go down. Now we learn that 100,000 construction jobs could be lost. It is jobs for bureaucrats in Ottawa and job losses for construction workers.
With records like these, why should Canadians believe the government will ever build affordable homes?
